2048 is a puzzle game in which the player has to move number tiles to merge them and get tiles with higher values. The game ends when there is no free space left on the field or when the player receives a tile with a winning value.

The player can move all tiles on the board in one of four directions (up, down, right, or left), and all tiles will move as far as possible in the chosen direction until they collide with another tile or the edge of the board. If two tiles with the same value collide, they will merge into one tile, which will have the sum of the value of both tiles.

The goal of the game is to get a tile with a winning value, but you can keep playing and try to score even higher. However, every turn a new tile with a value of 2 or 4 appears on the field, which complicates the task. The player must plan their moves so as not to fill the field and combine tiles skillfully to get higher values.
